DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

During LED chip package process, LED chips are detached from a blue tape by an ejector pin, picked and placed on a predetermined mounting place one by one via a vacuum chuck. Referring to FIGS. 1A˜2C, FIG. 1A shows a top view of a conventional flip chip LED 1. FIG. 1B shows a cross-sectional view of the conventional flip chip LED 1, attached on a blue tape 23, along a line A-A′ of FIG. 1A and an ejector pin 21 pushing the blue tape 23 and the conventional flip chip LED 1. The ejector pin 21 can punch through the blue tape 23 and press on a surface of the conventional flip chip LED 1. As shown in FIGS. 1A˜1B, the conventional flip chip LED 1 includes a light-emitting stack 10 including a p-type semiconductor layer, a n-type semiconductor layer, and an active layer disposed between the p-type semiconductor layer and the n-type semiconductor layer (not shown), a first pad 15 electrically connecting the n-type semiconductor layer, and a second pad 16 electrically connecting the p-type semiconductor layer. Herein, the ejector pin 21 can be applied to the flip chip LED 1 to detach the flip chip LED 1 from the blue tape 23 which covers an entire top surface of the flip chip LED 1. In detail, the ejector pin 21 is attached to a center region of the flip chip LED 1 located between the first pad 15 and the second pad 16 called gap area 151 for lifting and detaching the flip chip LED 1 from the blue tape 23, and thus the flip chip LED 1 is damaged due to the detaching.

Since mechanical strength of the flip chip LED 1 is not strong enough, when the ejector pin 21 pushes the flip chip LED 1, the ejector pin 21 will damage the flip chip LED 1 and result in chip damage such as cracks 27 produced in the flip chip LED 1. When current injects into the flip chip LED 1, the crack damage causes short circuits in the flip chip LED 1. The reliability of the flip chip LED 1 will be affected due to the damage accordingly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

To better and concisely explain the application, the same name or the same reference number given or appeared in different paragraphs or figures along the specification should has the same or equivalent meanings while it is once defined anywhere of the application.

The following shows the description of embodiments of the application in accordance with the drawing.

Referring to FIGS. 3A˜3B, FIG. 3A shows a top view of a light-emitting element 3 in accordance with a first embodiment of the application. FIG. 3B shows a cross-sectional view of the light-emitting element 3 along a line E-E′ of FIG. 3A. The light-emitting element 3 is adhered on a blue tape 23′ and an ejector pin 21′ presses on it through the blue tape 23′. As shown in FIGS. 3A˜3B, the blue tape 23′ covers an entire top surface of the light-emitting element 3. The light-emitting element 3 includes a semiconductor light-emitting stack 30 on a substrate 25′, a first conductive layer 31 on the semiconductor light-emitting stack 30, a first insulating layer 32 on the first conductive layer 31, a second conductive layer 33 on the first insulating layer 32 electrically isolated from the first conductive layer 31, a second insulating layer 34 on the second conductive layer 33, a first pad 35, a second pad 36, and a cushion part 37 interposed between the first insulating layer 32 and the second insulating layer 34. The semiconductor light-emitting stack 30 includes a first semiconductor layer with a first conductivity, an active layer, and a second semiconductor layer with a second conductivity (not shown). Herein the first conductive layer 31 electrically connects the second semiconductor layer, and the second conductive layer 33 electrically connects the first semiconductor layer. In the embodiment, a shape of the cushion part 37 in a top view can be a rectangular shape, the material of the cushion part 37 can be metal, and the cushion part 37 is electrically isolated from the first conductive layer 31 and the second conductive layer 33. In another embodiment, the material of the cushion part can be insulating material. In a top view, the cushion part 37 overlaps with the first conductive layer 31, and in a cross-sectional view, the cushion part 37 is substantially coplanar with and surrounded by the second conductive layer 33. The first pad 35 and the second pad 36 electrically connect the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer via the second conductive layer 33 and the first conductive layer 31, respectively. The cushion part 37 is located between the first pad 35 and the second pad 36 in a top view as shown in FIG. 3A and interposed between the first insulating layer 32 and the second insulating layer 34 in a cross-sectional view as shown in FIG. 3B.

Herein, the ejector pin 21′ penetrates the blue tape 23′ and then push the light-emitting element 3 to detach the light-emitting element 3 from the blue tape 23′. Because of the cushion part 37 integrated in the light-emitting element 3, while the ejector pin 21′ detaches the light-emitting element 3 from the blue tape 23′ via pushing the cushion part 37, cracks 27′ can be produced nearby the cushion part 37 but not to form conductive paths between the first conductive layer 31 and the second conductive layer 33. Accordingly, in the first embodiment, the cushion part 37 and the first conductive layer 31 are electrically isolated from the second conductive layer 33. Short circuits in the light-emitting element 3 will not happen accordingly.

FIG. 4A shows a top view of a light-emitting element 4 in accordance with a second embodiment of the application. FIGS. 4B˜4L show steps of a process flow of the light-emitting element 4 and cross-sectional views along a line F-F′ of FIG. 4A. FIG. 4B shows a step of forming a semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 on a substrate 425. In this step, the substrate 425 is provided and the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 is formed on the substrate 425. The substrate 425 includes a transparent substrate. A material of the substrate 425 includes transparent material which is transparent with respect to the light emitted from the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium phosphide (GaP), gallium nitride (GaN), sapphire, diamond, glass, quartz, acrylic, zinc oxide (ZnO), or aluminum nitride (AlN). Additionally, the substrate 425 can be a conductive substrate or a non-conductive substrate based on the material of the substrate itself or the impurities doped in the substrate. The substrate 425 can be a substrate for epitaxial growth, optionally have a patterned upper surface which can improve epitaxy quality of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40, and scatter the light emitted from the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40.

For improving the quality of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40, a buffer layer (not shown) can be formed between the substrate 425 and the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40. The semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 includes a first semiconductor layer 401, a second semiconductor layer 403, and an active layer 402 formed between the first semiconductor layer 401 and the second semiconductor layer 403. Herein, the first semiconductor layer 401 and the second semiconductor layer 403 are with different conductivities, electricity, polarities, or dopants for providing electrons and holes. The polarity can be an n-type polarity or p-type polarity for supplying electrons and holes, respectively so that electrons and holes can combine in the active layer 402 to emit light. For example, the first semiconductor layer 401 can be an n-type semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer 403 can be a p-type semiconductor layer.

The material of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 includes aluminum gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP) base or aluminum gallium indium nitride (AlGaInN) base.

Specifically, the active layer 402 includes i-type, p-type, or n-type semiconductor. The active layer 402 emits light when electrical current passes through the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40. When the active layer 402 includes AlGaInP based material, the active layer 402 emits amber series light, such as red light, orange light, or yellow light; when the active layer 402 includes AlGaInN based material, the active layer 402 emits blue, green or UV light. The present embodiment illustrates the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 with aluminum gallium indium nitride (AlGaInN) based material.

Firstly, the first conductive layer 41 is formed on the upper surfaces 401 a and 403 a and then a portion of the first conductive layer 41 is removed in accordance with the plurality of first depressions 48 through optical lithography and etching processes. Finally, the first conductive layer 41 is patterned and formed on the upper surface 403 a of the second semiconductor layer 403. In another embodiment, the plurality of first depressions 48 can be formed after forming the first conductive layer 41 on the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40. The etching steps of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 and the first conductive layer 41 can be performed at the same time, that is etching parts of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 and the first conductive layer 41 at the same step and then the plurality of first depressions 48 is formed to expose the upper surface 401 a. In the embodiment, the first conductive layer 41 electrically connects the second semiconductor layer 403. Additionally, the first conductive layer 41 has electrically contact with the second semiconductor layer 403 and can be metal material, such as, nickel (Ni), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), silver (Ag), or chromium (Cr), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), gold (Au), or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the first conductive layer 41 can includes a plurality of layers, for example, a transparent conductive layer (not shown), a reflective layer (not shown) formed on the transparent conductive layer, and a barrier layer (not shown) formed on and covering the reflective layer to prevent migration or oxidization of the reflective layer causing a decrease in the reflectivity. The transparent conductive layer electrically connects the second semiconductor layer 403, and the reflective layer electrically connects the transparent conductive layer. Light emitting from the active layer 402 can be reflected to the substrate 425 by the reflective layer, and extracted from a surface of the substrate 425 opposite to the active layer 402.

After forming the first insulating layer 42, portions of the first insulating layer 42 on the upper surface 401 a of the first semiconductor layer 401 and the upper surface 41 a of the first conductive layer 41 are removed through optical lithography and etching processes to form the second depressions 428 and 428′, respectively. The second depressions 428 penetrate from an upper surface 42 a of the first insulating layer 42 into the first insulating layer 42 and expose the upper surface 401 a of the first semiconductor layer 401. The second depression 428′ penetrates from an upper surface 42 a of the first insulating layer 42 into the first insulating layer 42 and exposes the upper surface 41 a of the first conductive layer 41. In the embodiment, the second depressions 428 and 428′ are vias.

Firstly, the second conductive layer 43, having an upper surface 43 a, is formed to fill the second depressions 428 and 428′ and covers a portion of the upper surface 42 a of the first insulating layer 42. Herein, the second conductive layer 43 filling in the second depressions 428 electrically connects the first semiconductor layer 401. Then, a portion of the second conductive layer 43 located at a center region of the light-emitting element 4 is removed through optical lithography and etching processes to form the third depressions 438′. Herein, the third depression 438′ penetrates from the upper surface 43 a of second conductive layer 43 to the upper surface 42 a. Moreover, a portion of the second conductive layer 43 filling in the second depression 428′ is also removed through the same optical lithography and etching processes to form the third depressions 438 so that the upper surface 41 a of the first conductive layer 41 and the upper surface 42 a of the first insulating layer 42 are exposed. In the embodiment, the third depression 438 connects and is aligned with the second depression 428′, and has a shape corresponding to the aligned second depression 428′ in a top view. The third depression 438′ is overlapped with the center region of the light-emitting element 4 in a top view.

In another embodiment, the material of the cushion part 47 can be insulating material or transparent material, for example, SiO₂, TiO₂, or Si₃N₄, and the cushion part 47 can be formed by evaporating, sputtering, or spin-on glass (SOG) coating. The thickness of the cushion part 47 can be designed to bear the detaching strength of the ejector pin to prevent damages of the light-emitting stack during the ejector pin detaching process. In detail, the cushion part 47 with the designed thickness can prevent short circuits between the first conductive layer 41 and the second conductive layer 43 in the light-emitting element 4 due to the cracks of the first insulating layer 42 occurring in the ejector pin detaching process.

FIG. 4K shows a step of removing portions of the second insulating layer 44 to form a plurality of fourth depressions 448 and 448′. After forming the second insulating layer 44, a portion of the second insulating layer 44, on the upper surface 43 a of the second conductive layer 43, is removed through optical lithography and etching processes to form the fourth depression 448 and expose the upper surface 43 a of the second conductive layer 43. In addition, the second insulating layer 44 filling in the third depression 438 is also removed to expose the upper surface 41 a of the first conductive layer 41 through the same optical lithography and etching processes and then the fourth depression 448′ is formed accordingly. Herein, the fourth depression 448 penetrates from an upper surface 44 a of the second insulating layer 44 to expose the upper surface 43 a of the second conductive layer 43 and the fourth depression 448′ expose the second depression 428′ so as to expose the upper surface 41 a of the first conductive layer 41.

FIG. 4L shows a step of forming a first pad 45 and a second pad 46. The first pad 45 and the second pad 46 are formed on the second insulating layer 44. Herein, the first pad 45 is formed on one side of the substrate 425 in a top view and fills in the fourth depression 448 for contacting the second conductive layer 43 so as to electrically connect the first semiconductor layer 401. The second pad 46 is formed on another side of the substrate 425 in a top view and fills in the fourth depression 448′ for contacting the first conductive layer 41 so as to electrically connect the second semiconductor layer 403. When the light-emitting element 4 electrically connects a power supply (not shown) via the first pad 45 and the second pad 46, the active layer 402 emits light. As shown in the FIGS. 4A and 4L, the cushion part 47 is disposed between the first pad 45 and the second pad 46. As the reason mentioned above, when an ejector pin (not shown) pushes the light-emitting element 4, short circuits will not happen due to the protection of the cushion part 47.

Referring to FIG. 5, it shows a cross-sectional view of a light-emitting element 5 in accordance with a third embodiment of the application. The structure of light-emitting element 5 is similar to that of the light-emitting element 4. For clarifying, in the third embodiment, similar components are labeled by the same reference numbers and the descriptions thereof are omitted herein. The differences between the light-emitting element 5 and the light-emitting element 4 are, in the third embodiment, a second conductive layer 43′ covers side walls/surfaces of a first insulating layer 42, outer edges of the second conductive layer 43′ excess over outer edges of an active layer 402 and a second semiconductor layer 403 of a semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 in a cross-sectional view as shown in FIG. 5, and the outer edges of the second conductive layer 43′ physically contacts a first semiconductor layer 401 of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 40 to form a periphery contacting area. Accordingly, a contact area between the second conductive layer 43′ and the first semiconductor layer 401 of the third embodiment is greater than that of the second embodiment. The electrical characteristic of the light-emitting element 5, such as forward voltage, can be better than that of light-emitting element 4. Similarly, when the light-emitting element 5 electrically connects a power supply via a first pad 45 and a second pad 46, the active layer 402 emits light.

When the light-emitting element 6 electrically connects a power supply via the first pad 65 and the second pad 66, the active layer 602 emits light.

The structure of the fourth embodiment is similar to that of the second embodiment. The difference between the fourth embodiment and the second embodiment is that the material of the cushion part 67 is insulating material and can be the same as the material of the first insulating layer 62 or the second insulating layer 64. In the embodiment, the cushion part 67 is formed in a center region of the light-emitting element 6 in a top view and interposed between the first insulating layer 62 and the second insulating layer 64 to prevent the crack damage. When an ejector pin (not shown) pushes the center region of the light-emitting element 6, the cushion part 67 can absorb part of the strength from the ejector pin to prevent from conductive paths occurring between the first conductive layer 61 and the second conductive layer 63, and short circuits due to the conductive paths will not happen accordingly.

As shown in FIGS. 11A˜11B, the light-emitting element 11′ includes a semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′, having a first semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second semiconductor layer (not shown in FIGS. 11A˜11B), on a substrate 1125, a first conductive layer 111′ on the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′, a first insulating layer 112′ on the first conductive layer 111′, a second conductive layer 113′ and a cushion part 117′ on the first insulating layer 112′, a second insulating layer 114′ on the second conductive layer 113′, and a first pad 115′ and a second pad 116′ on the second insulating layer 114′ respectively.

Steps of forming the light-emitting element 11′ includes forming the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ on the substrate 1125 and forming depressions 118′ in the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′. Herein, the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ is epitaxially grown on the substrate 1125 and portions of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ are etched away to form the depressions 118′. In the embodiment, the depressions 118′ penetrate into the second semiconductor layer and the active layer from an upper surface of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ to expose an upper surface of the first semiconductor layer. Each of these layers of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ may include a number of sub-layers that vary in composition with respect to one another. The active layer can be constructed from multiple InGaN layers separated by GaN layers. An upper surface of the second semiconductor layer can be roughened by a suitable etching process. When the light-emitting element 11′ electrically connects a power supply via the first pad 115′ and the second pad 116′, the active layer emits light.

Referring to FIGS. 11A˜11B, the steps of forming the light-emitting element 11′ further include forming an insulating layer 11 a′ on the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ before forming the first conductive layer 111′. Herein, the insulating layer 11 a′ includes a square ring-like region 11 a 1′ in a top view located on the edges of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ and several circle ring-like regions 11 a 2′ corresponding to the positions of the depressions 118′.

The circle ring-like regions 11 a 2′ cover the sidewalls of the depressions 118′ and expose portions of the upper surface of the first semiconductor layer in the depressions 118′. The step of exposing the upper surface of the first semiconductor layer in the depressions 118′ can be achieved via the etching and lithography processes.

The first conductive layer 111′ includes a first layer 1110′ having depressions 111 c′ and a second layer 1112′ having depressions 111 d′. The first layer 1110′ can be made of ITO, is formed on and covers a surface of the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ and is devoid of filling in the depressions 118′, and the second layer 1112′ is formed on the first layer 1110′ and is devoid of filling in the depressions 111 c′.

The first layer 1110′ and the second layer 1112′ can be deposited over the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′ and electrically connect the second semiconductor layer.

After forming the first layer 1110′ and the second layer 1112′, the first insulating layer 112′ is formed on the second layer 1112′. Herein, the first insulating layer 112′ is patterned as shown in FIG. 11B and includes a plurality of depressions 1121′ and 1123′. In the step of forming the first insulating layer 112′, the first insulating layer 112′ is formed on the second layer 1112′ and covers side surfaces of the circle ring-like regions 11 a 2′, side surfaces of the depressions 111 c′ of the first layer 1110′, and side surfaces of the depressions 111 d′ of the second layer 1112′. The first insulating layer 112′ is devoid of covering the upper surface of the first semiconductor layer exposed by the circle ring-like regions 11 a 2′ to form the depressions 1121′. The step of forming the depressions 1121′ and 1123′ can be achieved by the etching and lithography processes. In another embodiment, the circle ring like region 11 a 2′ and the depressions 1121′ of the first insulating layer 112′ exposing the upper surface of the first semiconductor layer in the depressions 118′ can be achieved at the same etching and lithography processes.

Next, the second conductive layer 113′ with depressions 1131′ and 1133′ and the cushion part 117′ are formed on the first insulating layer 112′ at the same step. A portion of the second conductive layer 113′ fills into the depressions 1121′ to electrically and physically connect the upper surface of the first semiconductor layer. A center region of the second conductive layer 113′ is removed to form the rectangular ring-like depression 1131′ and portions of the second conductive layer 113′ are removed to form the depressions 1133′. In the embodiment, the cushion part 117′ is formed in the depression 1131′ and surrounded by the second conductive layer 113′. The cushion part 117′ is formed on the center region of the light-emitting element 11′ in a top view, and electrically isolated from the second conductive layer 113′. After the second conductive layer 113′ and the cushion part 117′ are formed, the second insulating layer 114′ is formed on the second conductive layer 113′ and the cushion part 117′ and includes a plurality of depressions 1141′ and 1143′. The depressions 1141′ expose the second conductive layer 113′. The second insulating layer 114′ fills into the depressions 1133′ and 1123′, covers side surfaces thereof to form the depressions 1143′. Finally, the first pad 115′ and the second pad 116′ are formed on the second insulating layer 114′. Herein, the first pad 115′ electrically connects the second conductive layer 113′ via the depressions 1141′, and the second pad 116′ electrically connects the first conductive layer 111′ via the depressions 1143′ to provide external contacts for powering the semiconductor light-emitting stack 110′. Similarly, when an ejector pin (not shown) pushes the center region of the light-emitting element 11′, the cushion part 117′ can absorb part of the strength from the ejector pin to prevent from conductive paths occurring between the first conductive layer 111′ and the second conductive layer 113′, and short circuits due to the conductive paths will not happen accordingly.
